Cray Announces Sonexion 1300 Storage Product

By DE Editors

Cray has launched the Cray Sonexion 1300 system, an integrated file system, software and storage product. The new product extends Crays presence in the storage solutions business and offer customers a scalable Lustre file system.

Designed specifically for a wide range of HPC workloads, the Cray Sonexion 1300 system scales from approximately 50 terabytes to more than 50 petabytes of useable capacity. The storage system also features data rates of more than a terabyte-per-second.

The system combines servers, the latest Lustre parallel file system and management software into a modular storage product that is built, tested, shipped and supported as a complete solution.

The Cray Sonexion 1300 storage system will be a part of the recently announced Blue Waters supercomputer at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois, and will provide more than one terabyte-per-second of aggregate bandwidth when fully installed in one of the largest capacity storage subsystems in the world.
